Structured PICO
Do lifestyle and dietary changes reduce all-cause mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease?
P
Population
Patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD)
I
Intervention
Lifestyle and dietary changes (smoking cessation, increased physical activity, moderate alcohol use, combined dietary changes)
C
Comparator
No lifestyle or dietary changes
O
Outcome
All-cause mortalityhard clinical
Lifestyle modifications, including smoking cessation, increased physical activity, moderate alcohol use, and combined dietary changes, significantly reduce all-cause mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease.
Limitations
- Data for individual dietary goals were too limited to provide reliable effect size estimates
